A wonderful building with a fantastic ambiance.Beer selection was limited-only three cask ales on when I visited.do not be put off by this.The food is excellent and the service friendly. A must visit if you are in liverpool.

An elegant pub not to be missed. Itís well on the tourist trail but even with the foot traffic itís easy to soak up the history and grand features. As for the beer, itís by no means exciting but worth grabbing a pint and relaxing in this beautiful pub. Has anyone mentioned the Gents bathroom?

There is no way around it. This pub is gorgeous and appeals to the musician in me with the Brahms and Liszt rooms, not to mention the a Grande Lounge. And, of course, the toilets are amazing. A good mix of cask and bottled beers, a litho ugh I have been to other Nicholsonís pubs with much more imagination given to their drinks selection. At the end of the day this pub trades on its looks, beer-wise there are better pubs within walking distance.

Gorgeous pub with very impressive ornaments .. I heard this place was designed from the same shipwrights of the Lusitania .. Being a Nicholson pub the selection itís not so impressive without a real gem but still good anyway .. Absolutely a must visit pub !

A fairly grand - or grandiose - Nicholsonís pub with a nice range of beers. The pub itself is quite ornate, bordering on ostentatious, but it does provide a lot of eye candy. The íGrande Loungeí was an especially decadent affair. I had a fantastic golden ale in this pub so somebody seems to be keeping the casks well. Decent value, able servers. Worth checking out.

typical Nicholson menu and cask selection but fantastic interior, well worth a visit just for that. better appreciation when its empty, but plenty of seating when it gets busy. upstairs dining area. indifferent service though, walked in just after opening and no-one offered to serve...just chatting amongst themselves. went upstairs for food and no-one seated us so ate elsewhere.

Was one of my favorite Pubís when I lived in Liverpool. Interior is just amazing, you feel like being in an old Victorian palace. Restrooms are very magnificent. In the first floor they have a nice dining area, great Bangers and Mash. Several ales on tap. A must place to visit while you are in Liverpool.

In every sense a great Nicholsonís pub located in the Northern Georgian and Cultural Quarter of Liverpool. Itís a famous pub, and even the city explorer bus tour has a stop here. Different rooms, stylish and well kept. The large four-sided bar serves three guest ales by handpumps, and a few regular ales from Thwaites and Liverpool Organic. Some interesting beers on tap, as well. Our lunch food was tasty and freshly made. And yes, as when visiting the Princess Louise pub in Holborn, I took photos of the magnificent marble-tiled gentsí room. Should not be missed (visited, 09.04.2013).

Visited in januar 2012 on our pre-winter-ale-pubcrawl..
What a place... Being in Liverpool you simply have to visit this pub.
The decorations in this pub is simply awesome!!! Mirrors and glass panels everywhere, even the gents toilets was amazing ( i was told :-) )
Being a part of the Nicholson chain, beers and food ( we didnīt eat here ) are what you know from these pubs, served by friendly staff..
